Several important parameters influencing the adsorption of Pb(II) ions such as initial pH, adsorbent dosage and different initial concentration of Pb(II) ions were evaluated. The mechanism involved during the adsorption process was explored based on ion exchange study and using spectroscopic techniques. The adsorption capacities obtained based on non–linear Langmuir isotherm for chitosan, chitosan-GLA and chitosan-alginate beads in single metal system were 34.98, 14.24 and 60.27 mg/g, respectively. However, the adsorption capacity of Pb(II) ions were reduced in the binary metal system due to the competitive adsorption between Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions. Based on the ion exchange study, the release of Ca2+, Mg2+, K+ and Na+ ions played an important role in the adsorption of Pb(II) ions by all three adsorbents but only at lower concentrations of Pb(II) ions. Infrared spectra showed that the binding between Pb(II) ions and the adsorbents involved mostly the nitrogen and oxygen atoms. All three adsorbents showed satisfactory adsorption capacities and can be considered as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solutions.展开更多

The characterizations of the coating are analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Interfacial contact resistance (ICR) between the coated sample and carbon paper is 4.9 m Omega cm(2) under 150 N/cm(2), which is much lower than that of the SS316L substrate. Potentiodynamic and potentiostatic tests are performed in the simulated PEMFC working conditions to investigate the corrosion behaviors of the coated sample. Superior anticorrosion performance is observed for the coated sample, whose corrosion current density is 0.12 mu A/cm(2). Surface morphology results after corrosion tests indicate that the substrate is well protected by the multilayer coating. Performances of the single cell with the multilayer coated SS316L bipolar plate are improved significantly compared with that of the cell with the uncoated SS316L bipolar plate, presenting a great potential for PEMFC application.

The effect of nitric acid concentration (0.5~6 mol·L^-1) and temperature (278 ~318 K) on Ce( Ⅳ ) sorption efficiency was investigated. Sorption increased with increasing nitric acid concentration, indicating that [Ce(NO3)6]^2- complex is the main adsorbed Ce(Ⅳ) species. Oxidation of sorbents by adsorbed Ce ( Ⅳ ) species resulting in Ce ( Ⅲ ) release to the solution was observed. Pyridine based anion exchangers exhibited higher oxidation stability compared to the commercial strong base anion exchanger. Ce( Ⅳ ) reduction was temperature dependent and obeyed pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics. Column separation of Ce ( Ⅳ ) from La ( Ⅲ ) and Y ( Ⅲ ) was carried out from 6 mol·L^-1 nitric acid with PVP based anion exchanger. Reasonable Ce (Ⅳ) breakthrough capacity (0.7 mol·kg^-1 PVP) was achieved. No remarkable decrease of capacity was observed within 3 consequent runs. In contrast, Ce (Ⅲ) leakage due to reduction decreased and breakthrough capacity slightly increased. This effect was more pronounced with increasing temperature. Regeneration with 0.1 mol·L^- 1 nitric acid was successful (recovery 100% ± 4% ) and Ce solution of high purity ( 〉 99.97% ) with respect to La and Y content was gained.展开更多

Ion Exchange technique is preferred because of reduced sludge generation compared to conventional treatment techniques and better decontamination efficiency from highly diluted solutions. Factorial design of experiments is employed to study the effect of four factors pH (3, 5, and 6), flow rate (5, 10, 15 L/hr), resin bed height (20, 40 and 60 cm) and initial concentration of the metal (100, 150 and 200 mgl-1) at three levels. The efficiency of metal removal was determined after 100 min of treatment. Main effects and interaction effects of the four factors were analyzed using statistical techniques. A regression model was recommended and it was found to fit the experimental data very well. The results were analyzed statistically using the Student’s t-test, analysis of variance, F-test and lack of fit to define most important process variables affecting the percentage “Cu2+” removal. In this study , pH was thus found to be the most important variable.展开更多

Compared with AMC and IEC, the activity recovery of lysozyme obtained by AMC-IEC was much higher in the investigated range of initial protein concentrations, and the results show that AMC-IEC is very efficient for protein refolding at high concentrations. When the initial concentration of lysozyme is 180 mg/mL, its activity recovery obtained by AMC-IEC is still as high as 76.6%, while the activity recoveries obtained by AMC and IEC are 45.6% and 42.4%, respectively.展开更多

The Ag+ion-exchanged zeolite, was then embedded into the Matrimid5218 matrix to form novel mixed matrix membranes(MMMs). The particles and MMMs were characterized by ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy(UV–vis DRS), N2adsorption–desorption isotherm, X-ray diffraction(XRD), Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). Furthermore, the effects of filler content(0–20wt%) on pure and mixed gas experiments, feed pressure(2–20 bar) and operating temperature(35–75 oC)on CO2/CH4transport properties of Matrimid/Ag Y MMMs were considered. Characterization results confirmed an appropriate ion-exchange treatment of the zeolites. The SEM results confirmed the superior interfacial adhesion between polymer and zeolites, particularly in the case of Matrimid/Ag Y membranes.This is due to the proper silverous zeolite/Matrimid functional groups’ interactions. The gas permeation results showed that the CO2permeability increased about 123%, from 8.34 Barrer for pure Matrimid to18.62 Barrer for Matrimid/Ag Y(15 wt%). The CO2/CH4selectivity was improved about 66%, from 36.3 for Matrimid to 60.1 for Matrimid/Ag Y(15 wt%). The privileged gas separation performance of Matrimid/Ag Y(15 wt%) was the result of a combined effect of facilitated transport mechanism of Ag+ions as well as the intrinsic surface diffusion mechanism of Y-type zeolite. In order to survey the possibility of using the developed MMMs in industry, the CO2-induced plasticization effect and mixed gas experiment were accomplished. It was deduced that the fabricated MMMs could maintain the superior performance in actual operating conditions.展开更多

In this research, a new method, called the ion exchange membrane primary cell method, for reduction of Fe 3+ in the titanium sulfate solution has been advanced. The positive compartment of the primary cell consists of lead (copper) electrode and the titanium sulfate solution, and the negative compartment consists of iron electrode and acidic FeSO 4 solution. The anion ion exchange membrane is used as the diaphragm between two compartments. Fe 3+ in the titanium sulfate solution is reduced by the electric discharge of the primary cell. The effects of temperature, stirring strength of the solution and membrane area on the reduction rate have been investigated. The experimental result shows that the optimum current density can be higher than 100 A/m 2.展开更多

Different parameters affecting the sorption and elution process, including temperature, pH values as well as the ratio of resin to solution, were investigated. The results show that sorption degree of vanadium(V) increases with a decrease ofpH values, and V(V) ions are easier sorbed than Si(IV) and AI(III) ions under the same conditions. The sorption degree ofV(V), Si(IV), and AI(III) at pH 9.14 for 15 man are 90.6%, 33.5%, and 21.6%, respectively. Si(IV), AI(III), and V(V) ions sorbed on 717 resin were eluted by use of 2 mol·L^-1 NaOH solution; the desorption degree ofV(V), Si(IV), and AI(III) for 5 min are 81.7 %, 99.1%, and 99.3%, respectively.展开更多

It was found that the resin with an ionic capacity of 630 mmol·L^-1(FF-PEI-CR630)possessed high adsorption performance towards lysozyme at 0–100 mmol·L^-1 Na Cl. Therefore, in this work,FF-PEI-CR630 was selected to study the influences of pH and ionic strength(IS) on protein adsorption and chromatographic behavior towards lysozyme. The increase of lysozyme adsorption capacity in the pH range of 6 to 10 was observed. However, the uptake rate decreased in the pH range of 6 to 8 and then remained essentially unchanged from pH 8 to pH 10. Increasing IS led to decreased protein adsorption capacity and increased uptake rate in different pH ranges. Besides, FF-PEI-CR630 maintained dynamic binding capacity as high as over150 mg·ml^-1 at pH 8–10 without NaCl. The research has thus provided insight into the selection of proper pH and IS conditions for protein purification by using FF-PEI-CR630.展开更多

The Donnanequilibrium theory, based on the equilibrium of ions and no electric field, can not exactly explainthe permselectivity of ion exchange membrane for ED process, since it is impossible to set up a ionexchange equilibrium between membrane and solution and to neglect the influence of electricaldriving force on ions during ED process. A novel model named 'anti-electric potential' isestablished to interpret the permselectivity of ion exchange membrane, according to thedetermination of electric potential between membranes and the variation of elements content insolutions and membranes. The results of experiment prove that the 'anti-electric potential' reallyexists within membranes. As for the selectivity, the results reveal that electric potential andhydration energy have great influence on the concentration and mobility of ions in membranes.展开更多

Finite difference method with full-vectorial formulation (FV-FDM) is applied to solving the full-vectorial modes of graded index channel waveguide for the first time. The coupled difference equations based on magnetic fields in FV-FDM are derived from the Taylor series expansion and accurate formulation of boundary conditions. Hybrid nature of vectorial guided modes for both pump (980 nm) and signal light (1550 nm) are demonstrated by the simulation. Results show that the fabrication parameters of ion exchange, such as channel opening width and time ratio of second step to first step in ion exchange, have large influence on the properties of waveguide. By optimizing the fabrication parameters, maintenance of monomode for signal light and improvement of the gain dynamics can be achieved in Er^3+ doped waveguide amplifier (EDWA) fabricated by ion exchange technique. This theoretical model is significant for the design and fabrication of EDWA with ion exchange technique. Furthermore, a single polarization EDWA, which operates at wavelength from 1528 nm to 1541 nm for HE polarization, is numerically designed.展开更多

文摘The study examined the adsorption of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution onto chitosan, chitosan-GLA and chitosan-alginate beads. Several important parameters influencing the adsorption of Pb(II) ions such as initial pH, adsorbent dosage and different initial concentration of Pb(II) ions were evaluated. The mechanism involved during the adsorption process was explored based on ion exchange study and using spectroscopic techniques. The adsorption capacities obtained based on non–linear Langmuir isotherm for chitosan, chitosan-GLA and chitosan-alginate beads in single metal system were 34.98, 14.24 and 60.27 mg/g, respectively. However, the adsorption capacity of Pb(II) ions were reduced in the binary metal system due to the competitive adsorption between Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions. Based on the ion exchange study, the release of Ca2+, Mg2+, K+ and Na+ ions played an important role in the adsorption of Pb(II) ions by all three adsorbents but only at lower concentrations of Pb(II) ions. Infrared spectra showed that the binding between Pb(II) ions and the adsorbents involved mostly the nitrogen and oxygen atoms. All three adsorbents showed satisfactory adsorption capacities and can be considered as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solutions.

文摘Arc ion plating (AIP) is applied to form Ti/(Ti,Cr)N/CrN multilayer coating on the surface of 316L stainless steel (SS316L) as bipolar plates for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The characterizations of the coating are analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Interfacial contact resistance (ICR) between the coated sample and carbon paper is 4.9 m Omega cm(2) under 150 N/cm(2), which is much lower than that of the SS316L substrate. Potentiodynamic and potentiostatic tests are performed in the simulated PEMFC working conditions to investigate the corrosion behaviors of the coated sample. Superior anticorrosion performance is observed for the coated sample, whose corrosion current density is 0.12 mu A/cm(2). Surface morphology results after corrosion tests indicate that the substrate is well protected by the multilayer coating. Performances of the single cell with the multilayer coated SS316L bipolar plate are improved significantly compared with that of the cell with the uncoated SS316L bipolar plate, presenting a great potential for PEMFC application.

文摘Ce (Ⅳ) nitrato complexes were adsorbed on two anion exchangers based on polyvinyl pyridine (PVP) and quatemized PVP incorporated into porous silica matrix. The effect of nitric acid concentration (0.5~6 mol·L^-1) and temperature (278 ~318 K) on Ce( Ⅳ ) sorption efficiency was investigated. Sorption increased with increasing nitric acid concentration, indicating that [Ce(NO3)6]^2- complex is the main adsorbed Ce(Ⅳ) species. Oxidation of sorbents by adsorbed Ce ( Ⅳ ) species resulting in Ce ( Ⅲ ) release to the solution was observed. Pyridine based anion exchangers exhibited higher oxidation stability compared to the commercial strong base anion exchanger. Ce( Ⅳ ) reduction was temperature dependent and obeyed pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics. Column separation of Ce ( Ⅳ ) from La ( Ⅲ ) and Y ( Ⅲ ) was carried out from 6 mol·L^-1 nitric acid with PVP based anion exchanger. Reasonable Ce (Ⅳ) breakthrough capacity (0.7 mol·kg^-1 PVP) was achieved. No remarkable decrease of capacity was observed within 3 consequent runs. In contrast, Ce (Ⅲ) leakage due to reduction decreased and breakthrough capacity slightly increased. This effect was more pronounced with increasing temperature. Regeneration with 0.1 mol·L^- 1 nitric acid was successful (recovery 100% ± 4% ) and Ce solution of high purity ( 〉 99.97% ) with respect to La and Y content was gained.

The resultsshow that Na_4Ti_4Si_3O_(10) has good chemical stability, thermal stability, and high cesium ionexchange capacity in the whole pH range.
文摘A factorial experimental design method was used to examine the “Cu2+” removal from acid mine drainage wastewater by ion exchange technique. Ion Exchange technique is preferred because of reduced sludge generation compared to conventional treatment techniques and better decontamination efficiency from highly diluted solutions. Factorial design of experiments is employed to study the effect of four factors pH (3, 5, and 6), flow rate (5, 10, 15 L/hr), resin bed height (20, 40 and 60 cm) and initial concentration of the metal (100, 150 and 200 mgl-1) at three levels. The efficiency of metal removal was determined after 100 min of treatment. Main effects and interaction effects of the four factors were analyzed using statistical techniques. A regression model was recommended and it was found to fit the experimental data very well. The results were analyzed statistically using the Student’s t-test, analysis of variance, F-test and lack of fit to define most important process variables affecting the percentage “Cu2+” removal. In this study , pH was thus found to be the most important variable.

文摘Artificial molecular chaperone (AMC) and ion exchange chromatography (IEC) were integrated, thus a new refolding method, artificial molecular chaperone-ion exchange chromatography (AMC-IEC) was developed. Compared with AMC and IEC, the activity recovery of lysozyme obtained by AMC-IEC was much higher in the investigated range of initial protein concentrations, and the results show that AMC-IEC is very efficient for protein refolding at high concentrations. When the initial concentration of lysozyme is 180 mg/mL, its activity recovery obtained by AMC-IEC is still as high as 76.6%, while the activity recoveries obtained by AMC and IEC are 45.6% and 42.4%, respectively.
文摘There are numerous impurities in wet-process phosphoric acid,among which manganese is one of detrimental metallic impurities,and it causes striking negative effects on the industrial phosphoric acid production and downstream commodity.This article investigated the adsorption behavior of manganese from phosphoric acid employing Sinco-430 cationic ion-exchange resin.Resorting FT-IR and XPS characterizations,the adsorption mechanism was proved to be that manganese was combined with sulfonic acid group.Several crucial parameters such as temperature,phosphoric acid content and resin dose were studied to optimize adsorption efficiency.Through optimization,removal percentage and sorption capacity of manganese reached 53.12 wt%,28.34 mg·g^-1,respectively.Pseudo-2nd-order kinetic model simulated kinetics data best and the activation energy was evaluated as 6.34 kJ·mol^-1 for the sorption reaction of manganese.In addition,the global adsorption rate was first controlled by film diffusion process and second determined by pore diffusion process.It was found that the resin could adsorb up to 50.24 mg·g^-1 for manganese.Equilibrium studies showed that Toth adsorption isotherm model fitted best,followed by Temkin and Langmuir adsorption isotherm models.Thermodynamic analysis showed that manganese adsorption was an endothermic process with enhanced randomness and spontaneity.
文摘EAB zeolite was successfully prepared and applied to selective adsorption of Li^(+),Na^(+)and K^(+)ions.The physical and chemical properties of the adsorbent were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD),X-ray fluorescence(XRF),scanning electron microscope(SEM)and thermogravimetry(TG)methods.The ion exchange behaviours for Li^(+),Na^(+)and K^(+)ions in monomcomponent and multicomponent solutions were studied.In independent ion exchange,the ion exchange capacities ratiosα(/Na/Li)andα(K/Li)were 3.8 and 6.2,respectively.In competitive ion exchange,the selectivitiesβ(Na/Li)andβ(K/Li)increased with the initial concentrations and reached 409 and 992 when the initial concentrations was 100 mmol/L.The thermodynamic study results showed that Gibbs free energy change(ΔGΘ)of ion exchange reaction between Li-EAB and K^(+)was-34.96 kJ/mol,indicating that ion exchange of K^(+)ions was more energetically favourable than Li^(+)ions.The calculation results showed that the energy barriers of ion exchange increased in the order K^(+)Na^(+)<Li^(+).The study shows that EAB zeolite is potential to be used in the separation of alkali ions.
文摘In this work, the zeolite-Y was ion-exchanged by introducing silver cations into the framework of microsized nano-porous sodium zeolite-Y using a liquid-phase ion exchanged method. The Ag+ion-exchanged zeolite, was then embedded into the Matrimid5218 matrix to form novel mixed matrix membranes(MMMs). The particles and MMMs were characterized by ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy(UV–vis DRS), N2adsorption–desorption isotherm, X-ray diffraction(XRD), Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). Furthermore, the effects of filler content(0–20wt%) on pure and mixed gas experiments, feed pressure(2–20 bar) and operating temperature(35–75 oC)on CO2/CH4transport properties of Matrimid/Ag Y MMMs were considered. Characterization results confirmed an appropriate ion-exchange treatment of the zeolites. The SEM results confirmed the superior interfacial adhesion between polymer and zeolites, particularly in the case of Matrimid/Ag Y membranes.This is due to the proper silverous zeolite/Matrimid functional groups’ interactions. The gas permeation results showed that the CO2permeability increased about 123%, from 8.34 Barrer for pure Matrimid to18.62 Barrer for Matrimid/Ag Y(15 wt%). The CO2/CH4selectivity was improved about 66%, from 36.3 for Matrimid to 60.1 for Matrimid/Ag Y(15 wt%). The privileged gas separation performance of Matrimid/Ag Y(15 wt%) was the result of a combined effect of facilitated transport mechanism of Ag+ions as well as the intrinsic surface diffusion mechanism of Y-type zeolite. In order to survey the possibility of using the developed MMMs in industry, the CO2-induced plasticization effect and mixed gas experiment were accomplished. It was deduced that the fabricated MMMs could maintain the superior performance in actual operating conditions.
文摘In the production process of titanium dioxide with sulfuric acid, the contamination of the titanium sulfate solution (the ilmenite leaching solution) in the Fe 3+ reduction stage by iron scraps is a practical problem because it is difficult to guarantee the quality of the iron scraps. In this research, a new method, called the ion exchange membrane primary cell method, for reduction of Fe 3+ in the titanium sulfate solution has been advanced. The positive compartment of the primary cell consists of lead (copper) electrode and the titanium sulfate solution, and the negative compartment consists of iron electrode and acidic FeSO 4 solution. The anion ion exchange membrane is used as the diaphragm between two compartments. Fe 3+ in the titanium sulfate solution is reduced by the electric discharge of the primary cell. The effects of temperature, stirring strength of the solution and membrane area on the reduction rate have been investigated. The experimental result shows that the optimum current density can be higher than 100 A/m 2.

文摘With strong alkaline anion-exchange resin 717 as the sorbent and NaOH solution as the eluent, a study on the sorption from alkaline solution and elution of vanadium(V), silicon(iv), and aluminium(III) was carried out. Different parameters affecting the sorption and elution process, including temperature, pH values as well as the ratio of resin to solution, were investigated. The results show that sorption degree of vanadium(V) increases with a decrease ofpH values, and V(V) ions are easier sorbed than Si(IV) and AI(III) ions under the same conditions. The sorption degree ofV(V), Si(IV), and AI(III) at pH 9.14 for 15 man are 90.6%, 33.5%, and 21.6%, respectively. Si(IV), AI(III), and V(V) ions sorbed on 717 resin were eluted by use of 2 mol·L^-1 NaOH solution; the desorption degree ofV(V), Si(IV), and AI(III) for 5 min are 81.7 %, 99.1%, and 99.3%, respectively.

文摘In our previous work, a series of polyethylenimine(PEI)-derived cation exchangers were synthesized using PEIgrafted resin FF-PEI-L740(ionic capacity, 740 mmol·L^-1) as the basic resin to study lysozyme adsorption and chromatographic behavior. It was found that the resin with an ionic capacity of 630 mmol·L^-1(FF-PEI-CR630)possessed high adsorption performance towards lysozyme at 0–100 mmol·L^-1 Na Cl. Therefore, in this work,FF-PEI-CR630 was selected to study the influences of pH and ionic strength(IS) on protein adsorption and chromatographic behavior towards lysozyme. The increase of lysozyme adsorption capacity in the pH range of 6 to 10 was observed. However, the uptake rate decreased in the pH range of 6 to 8 and then remained essentially unchanged from pH 8 to pH 10. Increasing IS led to decreased protein adsorption capacity and increased uptake rate in different pH ranges. Besides, FF-PEI-CR630 maintained dynamic binding capacity as high as over150 mg·ml^-1 at pH 8–10 without NaCl. The research has thus provided insight into the selection of proper pH and IS conditions for protein purification by using FF-PEI-CR630.

文摘Membrane/solution interface consists of a neutral concentration polar layer(CPL)and a charge layer(CL)under external electrical field,and the neutral CPL can be neglected under high frequency AC electrical field.The relationship of CL thickness e with electrolyte concentration C and fixed ion exchange sites density σ in membrane surface layer can be expressed as e=σ/C.According to this model,the thickness of the CL on Nafion1135 membrane/solution interface(ec)was calculated under different membrane surface charge quantity Q and variable electrolyte concentration C.The membrane/solution interface CL thickness(em)is obviously related with the membrane properties,and decreases dramatically in a higher electrolyte concentration.em values are 76.3 nm and 110.3 nm respectively for Nafion1135 and PE01 ion exchange membrane in 0.05 mol/L H2SO4 solution,and em values for both membrane tend to 2 nm in 2 mol/L H2SO4 solution.For Nafion1135 membrane,the comparison of ec and em gives the result that CL thickness em obtained by resistance measurement fits well with the calculated CPL thickness ec while proton in CL transferred to membrane surface is 14.56×10?10 mol,which corresponds to the fixed exchange group number in a surface layer with a thickness τ=2 nm for Nafion1135 membrane.
文摘Ion exchange membranes with high permselectivity (the character of separatingcations from anions or anions from cations) and high selectivity (the character of separatingcations or anions of different valencies) are important for electrodialysis process. The Donnanequilibrium theory, based on the equilibrium of ions and no electric field, can not exactly explainthe permselectivity of ion exchange membrane for ED process, since it is impossible to set up a ionexchange equilibrium between membrane and solution and to neglect the influence of electricaldriving force on ions during ED process. A novel model named 'anti-electric potential' isestablished to interpret the permselectivity of ion exchange membrane, according to thedetermination of electric potential between membranes and the variation of elements content insolutions and membranes. The results of experiment prove that the 'anti-electric potential' reallyexists within membranes. As for the selectivity, the results reveal that electric potential andhydration energy have great influence on the concentration and mobility of ions in membranes.
文摘Feldspar and Pb(NO3)2 were mixed and reacted at T=380℃ to synthesize Pb-feldspar. In the XRD (X-ray diffraction) pattern of the product, the d values (crystal lattice spacing) of the five peaks are 0.654, 0.342, 0.332, 0.327 and 0.257 nm. The XPS analysis results show that the binding energy of Pb 4f(7/2) in the feldspar was between 137.81-138.03 eV. Pb^2+ can replace alkali and alkali earth cations in the feldspar structure through ion exchange reaction to form Pb-feldspar.

文摘A general numerical tool, based on thermal diffusion equation and full-vectorial eigen-mode equation, has been presented for the systematic analysis of graded index channel waveguide fabricated by ion exchange on Er^3+ doped glass. Finite difference method with full-vectorial formulation (FV-FDM) is applied to solving the full-vectorial modes of graded index channel waveguide for the first time. The coupled difference equations based on magnetic fields in FV-FDM are derived from the Taylor series expansion and accurate formulation of boundary conditions. Hybrid nature of vectorial guided modes for both pump (980 nm) and signal light (1550 nm) are demonstrated by the simulation. Results show that the fabrication parameters of ion exchange, such as channel opening width and time ratio of second step to first step in ion exchange, have large influence on the properties of waveguide. By optimizing the fabrication parameters, maintenance of monomode for signal light and improvement of the gain dynamics can be achieved in Er^3+ doped waveguide amplifier (EDWA) fabricated by ion exchange technique. This theoretical model is significant for the design and fabrication of EDWA with ion exchange technique. Furthermore, a single polarization EDWA, which operates at wavelength from 1528 nm to 1541 nm for HE polarization, is numerically designed.
